Clay St Outlet Wiring

   Yellow 12-2 romex house wire. This is what caught my eye today as I was working at Clay St apartments.

It was a sunny day here in northern NY with some wind and a high temp of 32 degrees. spent about  5 hours at Clay st apartment house doing some wiring. Specifically activating a couple of electric outlets that were installed many years ago but never had electricity going to them. They needed to be wire into a circuit.  Could have taken the outlets out but then would need to fill in the holes in the wall . Anyhow, project was a success. This was also first time in better than 2 weeks that I could raise my right arm overhead to do the job. My shoulder wouldn't permit it. I feel I may have overworked it so will take it easy tomorrow.

Friday March 11, 2022. I replaced light fixture in kitchen

Today I replaced a light fixture in the kitchen of home in Chaumont, NY.  

Ceiling light fixture quit. discovered burnt out socket that the T8 bulb plugs into.

February 23rd one of the 2x4 foot fluorescent light fixtures in our kitchen ceiling suddenly quit. Quick inspection revealed burnt end on one of the 4 tubes and the socket it plugs into. What caused it? I don't know. Wasn't able to find a similar replacement locally so ordered one at Home Depot. It took a couple weeks to get here. The fixture arrived at the store when they said it would, however, it was damaged and had to be returned. The replacement arrived about a week later. it as ok and I competed the project today.

Light fixture arrived from Home Depot in a damaged carton. The fixture proved to be ok.
